Prasidh Krishna continues. Brook offers a solid defence on the leg side, then taps the next one towards square. There's extra bounce on the third delivery - it spits off the surface as Brook shuffles across. He swings at the next but misses. A loose ball follows, and Brook cashes in, cracking the first boundary of the day with a breezy shot behind square. He defends the final delivery. Six runs come off the over - after 19 overs, England are 80 for 3.

Akash Deep strikes at the other end! Bowled him! Ollie Pope departs for 24 off 50 balls - a vital breakthrough for India.

Here comes Ben Stokes. He gets off the mark with a couple of runs, easing some early pressure. Stokes then gets well forward to defend, followed by a solid block. He adds a single to end the over. Three runs and a wicket from it - after 20 overs, England are 83 for 4.
